From a novel by John Preston, adapted by Moira Buffini (Harlots, Viceroy's House, Tamara Drewe). Excavator Ralph Fiennes digs up Anglo Saxon burial ship on widow Carrie Mulligan's land - she's dying. Very elegantly and beautifully made, photographed by Mike Eley (The Selfish Giant, Parade's End) and edited by Jon Harris (Yesterday, Kingsman, The Two Faces of January, 127 Hours, Kick-Ass, Eden Lake), with many a low horizon, scrambled editing and a pronounced use of detached sound - so scenes between characters saying nothing but hearing their conversation. Really good.
With Lily Collins, Ben Chaplin, Ken Stott, Danny Webb, Archie Barnes, Johnny Flynn, Monica Dolan.
